Chicken Salad Croissants

This chicken salad is the best! It's easy and can be made ahead. It's our family's favorite.

2 cups cooked chicken breast, cut up
1/4 cup diced celery
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup sliced almonds
3/4 cup mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons chopped red onion
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
5 Croissants



1. Combine all the ingredients except for the croissants. Mix well.
2. Spoon about 1/2 cup into each croissant.

Serves 5

Hint: For a large group, get smaller croissants and double or triple as needed. I get the half size croissants at Sam's Club, they are the perfect size.

To toast almonds: Put on cookie sheet and bake 350 for about 5-10 minutes. Check often because they will burn fast.
Cooked Chicken for Chicken Salad: Place chicken breast on cookie sheet lined with foil (for easy cleanup), bake 350 for about 30-40 minutes (depends on size of chicken). Turn chicken oven half way through. Baked until done but not browned so that it doesn't get dried out. Let sit until cool and cup up into bite size pieces.
